Do any boy plant to code drivers for the sound cards of dos?No only sb
but also the lastest onboard cards.

Silence dos is not well.

I hear that the drivers must get some approch to the EMM386?Is it
right?
I search the internet and i can not find any useful information about
this.

I carefully salvage any SB/SB PRO/SB16/SB32 I come across
in old throw away PC's.
And I found out that MIDI and MOD music sounds best played
with an SB PRO.
The 16 and 32 are a pain in the butt because of plug and pray
hurdles.

You won't, because modern cards don't have the same hooks that DOS
programs need. Your best bet is to install and run DOSBox, which
emulates both DOS and popular soundcards.

Check the BIOS settings for your onboard sound devices. Often they have an
option to emulate and Sound Blaster of one kind or another.

Hello guys. I found this while i searching the internet.I think it may
explain why the driver need emm386.exe.

It said that there is a undocumented API for EMM386 which provide a
means of virtualizing IO
ports under DOS.
I think it would be useful for us to make a AC97 driver.

Virtual Sound Blaster v2.02

This is a program written by Andrew Zabolotny a long time ago when few
people owned Sound Blaster's but many had Covoxes and similar things.
It will emulate a real Sound Blaster (1.x) on PC-Speaker or on a
Covox. The emulation is relatively accurate, but FM synthesizer is not
supported, thus it will play only digital sound. It was tested on a
number of DOS games.
